Revision as of 15:50, February 18, 2017
People who ever supported eugenics and other forms of forced sterilization as a part of population politics, sorted by date of birth. Before the excesses of World War II, many intellectuals, some of whom were thought of as very nice people, supported eugenics. Eleanor Roosevelt and her notions of UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and such tended to cause such ideas fall out of vogue for the following several decades.
